Star Wars routine rocked Facebook!

Rhythmic gymnastics is a kind of sport that is always ready to accept some new and even crazy ideas. The more creative you are, the better. Azerbaijan’s Rhythmic Gymnastics Group proved it having shot a video on the basis of the Star Wars. Gymnasts were dressed as Stormtroopers executing routine.

“We are doing different promo videos and always trying to experiment with something new,” said Farid Gayibov, Secretary General of the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation. “The Star Wars films are very popular among the young generation, and for our gymnasts it was also an opportunity to show themselves and their sport in a different way. We hope it will attract more young people to Gymnastics.”

The Star Wars idea came from team manager Farhad Ahmadbayli, and was embraced by gymnasts Ayshan Bayramova, Zeynep Celep, Diana Doman, Aleksandra Platonova and Siyana Vasileva. It was shot in a single day, with gymnasts sporting Stormtrooper outfits and masks.

This film turned out to be very lucky for Azerbaijan’s team as they won olds with the 5 Hoops and 3 Balls/2 Ropes the next day.
